10 players top Premier League clubs can sign to catch up with Manchester City

#6 Nick Pope

Nick Pope has emerged as one of the best goalkeepers in the league

Goalkeepers are a different breed and are generally confined to a list of their own. But the 25-year-old Englishman has put in some quality performances this season that seriously warrants his place on a list like this.

After learning the trade in the lower reaches of English football, this is the first time Pope is playing in the top flight. Getting his chance after a horrible injury to Tom Heaton, Pope has been a true rock for Burnley this season.

An excellent shot-stopper, Pope is good in the air and equally comfortable at performing sweeping duties. His performances are one of the primary reasons that even after scoring just 19 goals this season, Burnley are seventh in the league with an airtight defence.

The following clubs should look to sign the player

Liverpool - Barring Liverpool, all big clubs have excellent goalkeepers. Given Mignolet's and Karius's erratic performances, Pope can be an excellent acquisition for Liverpool who have missed a consistent performer in goal since Pepe Reina.

Chelsea - Chelsea snapped up Caballero for free this season but Pope can be an excellent upgrade on him and with uncertainty surrounding Courtois, the Burnley keeper can be a good value for money asset.

Arsenal - Arsenal's No.1 is inching closer toward the end of his career and David Ospina does not look like a Premier League goalkeeper.
